Sprocket size front & rear Rear tire size Motor size Length of track set up for Also if you race dirt or pavement Thanks Quote
B.b.p builders Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Posted July 11, 2014 Oh swing arm length would be also helpfull Quote
B.b.p builders Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Posted July 11, 2014 I'm asking cause I need advice on a good starting point for me. 535 cheetah drag ported Race is 400' +12 swingarm Tires are going to be 81 ro 14 paddle extreams I only weight 140lbs. Ready to race Dirt race Quote
B.b.p builders Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Posted July 12, 2014 If guys that weight 200+ lbs. running drag ported 421's can run 72 ro tires I think my 140lbs. Self on a drag ported 535 should be ok? You don't? Quote
B.b.p builders Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Posted July 12, 2014 I was leaning towards a 17/41 Quote
special06shee Posted July 12, 2014 Report Posted July 12, 2014 Redline 10cub 12over arm with +4 chassis. 76ro 14p stg exremes 300' sand track I weigh 185lbs Currently running 16/44. i do think 15/44 or 15/43 might be a bit better for my setup. Quote
special06shee Posted July 12, 2014 Report Posted July 12, 2014 That's a lot or roll outAnd i also agree with this. No matter how big you think your motor is, reality is, its not. 17/41 is a ton of gear with those big tires imo, Even if you are a light weight. Quote
B.b.p builders Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Posted July 12, 2014 And i also agree with this. No matter how big you think your motor is, reality is, its not. 17/41 is a ton of gear with those big tires imo, Even if you are a light weight.Ok this is why I ask, cause reality is, I don't know, and don't want to buy 10 different sprockets. Guys who have been there and done it already know best! Quote
SOUTHTHIRTY Posted July 12, 2014 Report Posted July 12, 2014 Get a 74-76 ro out.....wat ratio straight cuts are u running Quote
SOUTHTHIRTY Posted July 12, 2014 Report Posted July 12, 2014 And if your going to be fast at the track ...always bring a hand full of sprocket Quote
sprinklerman Posted July 12, 2014 Report Posted July 12, 2014 Ok this is why I ask, cause reality is, I don't know, and don't want to buy 10 different sprockets. t! Might as well get used to it... Quote
locogato11283 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Posted July 12, 2014 And if your going to be fast at the track ...always bring a hand full of sprocket This. I've got two of every sprocket from 40-44 in my trailer. There's no one set gearing for every track and condition you'll encounter. If you're not willing to buy every size and test and tune with them you aren't going to get very far in the drag world. Quote
B.b.p builders Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Posted July 12, 2014 Really? So much to learn!! I bought stock ratio straight cuts. That's one of the things I know for sure, cause I bought them myself new. Quote
